# Expert Tips:
01 -
- They disappear faster than you can bake them, which is saying something
- The dough gets perfectly golden while the cheese turns into gooey pockets of joy
02 -
- Rolling too loose means your filling spills out, so really tuck it in tight
- Room temperature dough behaves so much better than cold dough right from the fridge
03 -
- Use unflavored dental floss to cut clean slices instead of a knife
- If the dough keeps shrinking back, let it rest for 5 minutes and try again
